More than 500 people who received their coronavirus jabs have been admitted to hospital with Covid-19, a UK study has found.
Researchers at Liverpool University said the patients had all received one dose of the vaccine at least three weeks before they were admitted.
They said the patients were largely frail and elderly, while the number of people who were hospitalised represented only around 1 per cent of the 52,000 people involved in the research.
The report warns: “Elderly and vulnerable people who had been shielding, may have inadvertently been exposed and infected either through the end-to-end process of vaccination, or shortly after vaccination through behavioural changes where they wrongly assume they are immune.”
The study found a total of 526 people were admitted to hospital and 113 people died in what the research team called “vaccine failures”.
But they noted the amount of failures were not surprising based on the results at trials.
Colin Semple, professor of outbreak medicine at Liverpool University and one of the study’s authors, told the Times: “People should not be surprised about some vaccine failure. It is what was predicted. It does result in tragedy.
“We are all talking about the statistics, but if it is your granny it is a tragedy for your family.”
The findings were published by the UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies.”
